I would like to give you some general guidelines on how to get healthier with your diet.

1) Eat fruits and vegetables in a raw, natural state.
Supermarkets often have to import produce from other parts of the world which means it is probably refrigerated for a long period of time.  As much as you can SHOP LOCAL!

2) Avoid foods that have been tampered with in order to preserve them.
It is thankfully getting easier and easier to get organic foods because of the increase in organic farming methods.
3) Avoid processed food, white flour and sugar.

4) Avoid foods that contain coloring, added sugar or salt and

modified food starch and high fructose corn syrup.
5) Be sure to check the food labels before you buy.  If you are unable to pronounce half the things on the label than that is a good clue that it has been majorly tampered with.

6) Eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible.  When you cook your vegetables you destroy a lot of vitamins and enzymes.
You may find it hard to eat
This is a little more psychological but it is a great tip.
7) Think about what you are eating.  Don’t eat in a stressed or anxious state.  Give attention to the food or the juice in front of you.
You can even ‘chew’ your juice; which initiates the salivary glands in your mouth and your digestive juices.  This will help your body absorb the nutrients it better.

What is the Deal with Bottled Water? – HealthyLIfeJuicers.com

Image via Wikipedia

I was out shopping for bottled water and my shopping companion told me that I was a complete idiot!
He refuses to buy bottled water.  He said, “What a ridiculous concept!”  “Why buy bottled water when you have water for free coming directly out of your sink?
“Are you saying you don’t believe it is healthier to drink purified, distilled water?”  I asked.
“Nope, that is all a marketing ploy to get at our wallets.” He returned.

Well I had a few things to say about that:  First off did you know that….
Our bodies are made up of 70% water.
The brain is 85% water.
Bones are 35% water.
Blood is 83% water.
And the liver which is our most important detoxification filter is 90% water.
When we become dehydrated we are putting our lives in perilous danger.
Water from the tap is chlorinated.  And that chlorine causes a toxic reaction in our body.  You may ask, “so then why is chlorine put in the water because tap water?”
The water that is coming through our pipes is putrid.  There are all kinds of parasites and germs in the water that would kill us if we drank it straight.  So the water is overloaded with chlorine to kill these bugs and parasites but consuming large amounts of this chlorine causes toxicity in our bodies.
Also think about the pipes that the water is going through.  Led can bleach out into the water through the pipes or through soldering.

What is a thirsty person to do?

Well first, NO TAP WATER!
You can get so much hydration through the live living cells of fruits and vegetables. So not only is it key to drink distilled or reverse osmosis water.  But if you are juicing you are also getting the vitamins and minerals you need and giving your body incredible hydration.

About a gallon of water is eliminated from the body every 24 hours.  Through the pours of the skin, through the kidneys and through other elimination organs.

In order to maintain a correct healthy water balance that lost water must be replenished.
The most important thing you can do is hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
One daily health goal should be to get your urine as clear as possible if it is a strong yellow color you are seriously dehydrated.
